| Abstract: | “Casting Casteism as Inherited Indignity: A Reading of Githa Hariharan’s I Have Become the Tide” attempts to view the menace of casteism as presented in Githa Hariharan’s I Have Become the Tide. An Indian writer and editor aiming at excellence, Hariharan perfectly balances herself as a writer of social concern and a narrative artist to drive home her ideas in an effective way. Hariharan’s fiction I Have Become the Tide (2019) substantiates her narrative expertise. The twin objectives of literature, namely delight and instruction, go hand in hand by blending harmoniously both the aesthetic considerations and the social concerns. It poignantly elucidates the anomaly behind the functioning of casteism and the torments faced by outcastes. The novel serves as a reservoir of narrative techniques such as plot-structure, characterization, setting, narrative situations and language chosen by Hariharan. These narrative techniques are employed in a specific manner that it helps to further substantiate casteism as a bane. This research paper is divided into four chapters. Chapter I introduces the author Githa Hariharan and discerns the theme of casteism as discussed in various works by different authors. It also provides a brief summary of I Have Become the Tide. Chapter II, “Caste- A Bane,” addresses casteism as a bane through the lens of I Have Become the Tide. Chapter III, “Progression vs Regression,” continues in the same vein to depict constant regressions faced by dissenters of casteism on their march towards progression. It also describes the various narrative techniques employed in I Have Become the Tide that elucidates the baneful nature of casteism. Chapter IV optimistically expresses a possibility for bridging the chasm between different castes. |
